\ CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.
WONDERFUL SUCCESS OF TREATMENT
PURSUED BY A PHILADELPHIA
PHYsICIAN.

At the meeting Of the hospital
committee of the BOARD of Guar
dams Of the Poor. in Philadelphia,
Pa. on the 18th inst, DR.. L. N.
Mclaughlin. Chief Of the Hospital.
presented report Of the success Of
the treatment adopted about a
month ago for patients in the insti-
tuition suffering from consumption.
He said that so far the success Of
the treatment was almost marvel
Gus. and in che cases which il was
agreed to submis to the methods
adopted NO other has been used
Dr.. Mclaughlin first obtained the
idea from paper resd before the
College Of Sciences. ut a recent
meeting in Paris, by one of the
professors in the University Of
Lyons.
It was recommended SO highly.
and had shown such surprising re-
suits in France. that DIR. McLaugh-
lin decided to test it in the hos
pital. He explained the Treatment.
to the patients, when thirty Of them
agreed to submit to the operation.
To these patients. who were con-
sidered TO be suffering from the
last stages OF consumption. two
rectal injections Of carbon;c acid
gas. prepared by the process given
by the French physician, were
given each day. all other medicine
being abandoned.
The patients at once began to
show signs OF improvement, the
night sweats ceased. as If by mage.
tie almost constant pains from
which they suffered vanished. the
secretions Of the body were regular
and bscame natural. and the appe-
tite returned. The sick grew
brighter and stronger each day.
and since the beginning Of the
treatment one Of the number has
gained twelve pounds in weight.
aud others have gained from three
to Eve pounds in the same Tins.
How far the improvement will
under the treatment cmn-
not be judged, but the results have
been SO satisfactory that DR.. Mc-
LsugLlin has abandoned all other
r einelies in the treatment of pa
tients who can be induced TO try
The operation. and lie is 80 agree
ably surprised at the results that
lie feels almost ready to say that n
cure for consumption. which las
always been considered fatal vii en-
once developed, has been found.

to be beleaguered by hostile Afri-
cans near Wadelsi. not far from

with one Of Mr.. Hiram s. Maxim 3

mounted weighs Is pounds. the
tripod without the shield weighs so

SUNDAY LAW.

The Donaldsonvilis Chisf says
The Sunday law 30 far has hal. j,
the opinion of majority Of bust
ness men, most injurious and de-
pressing effect at this place. Out
side of its hurtful tendency 10 the
saloons it prevents the usual flow
Of strangers from the adjacent
towns and the rural inhabitants
from visiting here for other bust
ness aud pleasure purposes, all
harmless in themselves. The OBJ
lection to this crude. bungling, I'M
digested instrument is that it is too
sweeping in it's operations, and it
might have been framed SO AZ to
make many wise determinations
As it is now understood and con-
strued. oyster saloons, barber shops,
fruit stands. tobacco and provision
stores are bermetically sealed, to
the great Inconvenience and disgust
OF the people. The object Of the
law is to arres. the sale OF intoxi-
eating liquors. Why not SIMPLY
say SO. and nothing more. and rest
assured this provision will be ap-
proved and enforced. As it is, the
people regard the action of the
Legislature in passing this law as
arbitrary and pu-itanical restraint
upon old-fashionei Louisiana free
dom.
The New Orleans Chronicle thus
shows how the law is evaded: The
socirl AMI private pay clubs, OF
which there are many successful
and popular ones in this city. have
not realized the advantages they
expected from the Sunday Law.
which gave them the exclusive
privilege OF selling liquors on Sun
day.
A number of other private clubs
have arisen 10 compete with them
by admitting to their rooms any
respectable citizen without requir-
ing pay or ex.ctins q ballot for all
mission. These clubs are claimed
to be exempt from the penalties of
the Sunday Law. Their doors are
closed, but are pl omptly opened to
all well-bshsvsd gentlemen who are
with latch keys. They
occupy the second stories of saloons.
The New Orleans Daily States, OF
las. Tuesday. says: The effect Of
the Sunday law is beginning to he
seen in this city. A larger number
OF drunken men were seen on the
streets last Sunday night than ever
before, and the late cars were filed
with them. The law is very un.
popular with the masses of the peo-
pie, aud in consequence tricks Of all
kinds are employed to evade it. and
the result is men drink more than
they would if they had the priv
lege of walking into an open sa-
loon and getting their liquor.
Gold tea" is now the popular Scn-
lay driuk. apd it makes a large
size drunk come very quick. The
''white plush" can also he bought
10 any quantity if one knows the
ropes. while it is quite common for
men to carry a flask Of "clill drops"
in their coat pockets. The truth Of
lie matter is the law is causing q |
great deal Of qniet but very heavy
drinking on Sunday. and has proved
! failure, il not a positive evil.

m CHICAGO.

Tho working people of Chicago have
gained 5000 votes over and above the
number cast q the last election. They
were only defeated by the combination Of
the robbers Of all churches and parties for
boodler Roche, Gamblers, prostitutes,
thieves, rchAnts, monopolists, politi-
clans, police, preachers, pimps and the
prostitutsd prets all combined to beat the
honest working people. They succeeded,
but they snowID rHxrs HAND.
Hsnceforth ih this country there are but
t,so parties not three; the party Of honesty
and the party Of thievery.
The result in Chicago means that seven
men shall hang.
One year ago last in May there was ar
eight hour agitation there, which capita
and Its police desired to suppress. In de
fiance of law and the first and foundation
principle Of Americanism the police plot
ted to break u p peacesble meeting. Th'
Pinkerton' outfit threw bomb and kille(
many wage workers and few policemen
The leading labor agitators were arrestst
and jailed; they were tried before bribe'
Judge and packed jury and convicted; tn
eight hour m movement was killed.
For year the honest people Of this Re
public have been protesting against th
contamination Of this outrage-the hang
ing Of these men simply. because the
dared to speak out and tell the truth O
1 things as they exist, and to demand th
cessation of dishonesty.
Every man Of ordinary common sens
knows that these men never threw an
bomb; IL they had been in the bomb-throv
ing business, they would not have stopps
at one bomb. The thing is absurd upo
its face. Even the Chicago capitalists st
nit that tho men are TO be hanged simpl
in order TO teach the workers to shut q
their jaw.
That they will be strung up now
almost certain. The boodlers must do
for their own vindication.
BUT WHAT WILL BE THE FINAL RrsuLr Q
SUCH IsJusrIcxs
